i have the F350 and love it - it's not a fast truck or a basher - it's more of a scale ride (and a great build)

not box stock, there is not a lot of suspension travel. With the locked diffs though, i rarely get stuck. does fine on more scale surfaces.

i have a vid of mine on the tube - should give you an idea of it's capabilities. mine was a little modded, but not too much

how did you lock the diffs? and what mods do you have on it?

the kits come with a pin that you can use to run the diffs locked or open - pretty slick set-up.

here's some pics of the build-up
